The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. For example, the unit is attached to a piece of metal; it may
either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal
surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors,
double glazing etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the indoor weather station can receive the signal from
the remote temperature/humidity sensor at the positions that you wish to situate them.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
•
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the units and give
inaccurate forecasts and readings.
•
When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they
may mark the LCD and casings.
•
Do not submerge the units in water.
•
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the
recommended type.
•
Do not make any repair attempts to the units. Return it to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified
engineer. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate their guarantee.
•
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes in forecasts and
readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
